POPULAR AND PROFESSIONAL
LAW.

The San Francisco Post says the en-
t~erprise Of the Examiner in collecting
the opinions of Consul Bee, Hing Chong,
Wing Shong We and Ii Pc Tai upon
the Hong Di lynching is not only toler.
able but commendable. While we may
not agree with those gentlemen, we can
make allowances for their patriotic feel
ings and gain profit from their some
times startling suggestions. But a line
must be drawn somewhere, and we re-
specially draw it at Mr.. Henry E.
Highton.
Mr.. Highton favors The Examiner with
a communication donouncing the sum
mary popular action which deprived
Hong Di of any value as a possible
source of legal fees. 1.-The Decd" he
says, combined every element of muir.
der" Not quite every element, Mr..
Highton. It lacked some of the features
that existed when a man in this city de-
liberately shot down a boy who had
never harmed a human being, and who
had Just been showing his assassin's
daughter a marked kindness. The great
continuancer did not employ himself in
writing letters to the newspapers to de-
nounce that crime. He was too busily
and proitably occupied in aiding the
criminal to escape.
MI. Highton advances the general
proposition that revenge is the antith-
esis Of justice" Here again he is in
error. Revenge may often be the servant
of justice. The real antithesis of justice
is the mercenary professional spirit
which hires its conscience to the highest
bidder, and is ready to exhaust the re-
sources Of legal chicanery with equal
cheerfulness to free a murderer or en-
slave a helpless Chinese woman. 1t is
unnecessary to name the most notorious
local exponent of this spirit.
"But the deepest outrage" thinks the
professional friend of the exploitable
assassin, twas the assertion of the right
of q mob to override the decision of a
jury" The decision of a jury, which
has such peculiar %sacredness in Mr..
Highton's eyes just now, never stands in
his way when it is against one of hi:
clients. 1t may rightly be overridder
then by every variety of legal ~trickery.
Crime can trample over any verdict,
however righteous, but justice must
yield to any verdict, however scandalous.
Lynch law is an exceedingly unpleas
ant and dangerous thing, and it would
not exist unless something were wrong
Does Mr.. Highton know what is wrong
in California 1t is the class of which
he is a type. He and his associates are
responsible for whatever excuses a mad
dened people may commit in defense Of
outraged justice. But for a long course
of m%ercenary %tampering with the law,
which has destroyed confidence in its
purity, crimes would be left to courts
and %juries. The people dislike lynching,
but if they are compelled to choose be
tween that and Hightonism, there will
always be plenty Of volunteers to mar
the rope.

PHILADELPHIA, July 10. Ernest
Kammy, a molder by trade, who has
been morose and respondent for some
time, went walking in Fairmount
Park this morning with his wife. After
they had agreed with each other that
they should die together, they went to

liberately shot his wife through the
head. She fell and he fired another
shot into her breast, and then shot
himself three times, once in the tenn
pie, once in the mouth, tearing away
four teeth, and again in the breast,
when he lay down, calmly awaiting
death.

since the assassination of President
Garfield was committed last evening
opposite the northeastern end of the
Treasury Department building. j.. G.
Kennedy, attorney and real estate
agent, n of the old residents of
Washington and personal acquaint-
ance OF many OF the most prominent
people of the National Capital, vas
murdered in cold blood, apparently
without ~provocation, by John Daily, a
white laborer. A few minutes before
5 O'Clock, Kennedy left his office,
crossed the street, where he mailed
several letters, started to take a car
when within a few feet of the car,
Daily, who had been lettering around
the corner for several hours, walked
up behind him drawing a large keen
bladed knife, similar to those used by
butchers killing hogs, ran it into
Kennedy's right side ear the abdo-
men with a vicious lunge, and
then gave it a jerk sideways.
There was n large crowd on the cor
ner at the time, but too horror stricken
for the moment, and nobody moved.
Daily was afterwards arrested.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, July b.
From a north bound passenger last
night it is learned that the Indian
news sent out from Ell Paso has not
been exaggerated. He states that a
band, which was not captured by Cen
eral Miles, numbering about so war
riors, were encamped In Ragged
Range, a spur OF the Sierra Madres.
He v a detailed account of the kill
ing Of two Ell Paso prospectors named
McGraw and Smith, who had run
upon the Indians while in camp, and
who Immediately attacked the pros
pectors. The men fought bravely
against great odds but both were
killed. Reports that McGraw was
| captured and died at the stake, he
| states, have believers in FL Paso. 1t is
believed. however, that both were
killed outright and then scalped.
Miners are arming themselves and it is
likely a fight will occur at any mo-
ment. Mexican troops are out after

GRANDMOTHER.

Outlived her usefulnessr Nay, oh, nayI
Never let grandmother even dream
She could better be spared from her homo to-day
Than in days when her hair wore its youthful
CLEAN.
Nay, though her hands, once SO plump and
strong,
Grown thin and weak, can not labor now;
Nay though the life-battle fought so long
Has left deep scars on her aged brow.
VINO so willing, when mamma is weary,
To hush the baby upon her breast
with old-time lullabies quaint and CHEEKY,
Till 1t lies in peaceful, slumbrous restS
Straight TO grandma goes hayward Willie,
When rough runs the waves Of his young life 8

She steers him straightly, twill he, mill he"
Into the port where he ought to be.
Madcap Nellie sits sweetly serious,
Plying her needle by grandmamas chair;
Strong, indeed, is the charm mysterious
Holding to mischief so quietly there.
All, grandmas work can be done by her only!
There's niche that only her chair can fill;
There void in the home, that is dark and
lonely,
When grOndmama's loving voice is still.

AillNG ANIMALS,
The Proper Construction and Location of
Box stalls for Sick stock.


An ailing animal should have a box
stall and as far separated from the
other stables as convenient, in order
that It may be kept more quiet and
thst any contagious or infectious dis
ease may not be transmitted. 1t should
be as simple in construction as NAV be
consistent with warm and strength, so
as to be easily disinfected if occasion
requires. Such a box can be properly
ventilated by a wooden spout through
the floor or side of the building, hay
ing the outdoor mouth next to the
ground and the indoor end about two
feet from the floor. In this way the
impure air, heated by the body of the
animal, rises to the top of the box and
IS displaced by pure air from the spout.
The impure air Il be allowed to
escape through an aperture at
The top of the box. There
should be q window in the box
so arranged that sunlight can be adj.
m'tted. as sunlight is always as i'm.
